HARD TIMES AND BAD PAY.

lizard times" is the cry every
where one goes, and it seems to us we
might reply, bad pay, bad pay. We
send out over hundred extra papers
this week in order to reach many of
our delinquent subscribers. After
this week we intend to come down to
those who have paid up. We don't
suppose any one is trying to starve us
out, but as we have often said, We
are compelled to pay for our work be-
fore we get it. We can't stand send
ing papers to so many delinquents and
will not try, for fear we might become
unable to send to any. We must I'M
load Bad pay does not suit these
hard times. Please pay up what you
owe. The many small bills amount
to much, and in order to do justice by
those who have paid, we must cut
loose and make out bills and stop the
paper.
We hope no one will become offend
ed at this and no reasonable person
will, for they should not expect us to
take money from our pocket, week af-
ter week and send papers to hundreds,
many of whom we will never get a
cent from. After this week we cut
regardless of persons and circum-
stances. If you like to read the pa
per, help support.

RascaIly Spectators.

We print the following Galveston
dispatch ccrbatum, to show the specu-
lation of alleged honest men in bread
stuAfs. A syndicate Of rascals pro-
tected by law:
A million aud half bushels of June
wheat sold yesterday in the Chicago
wheat pit at S5S to SO is understood
here to have been for account Of
Galveston parties. who were taking in
their profits. This wheat netted its
holders about three cents per bushel,
all around. In addition to this, the
Galveston syndicate owns 1900. 900
bushels of actual wheat in Chicago
elevators. which was delivered last
Monday. Moreover, they did not
get all the spot wheat they wanted,
and have outstanding contracts for
500, 600 bushels additional, which
they are ready to receive. These
gentlemen are Galveston bulls and
confidence in dollar wheat before the
end of June. They are amply able
to hold the wheat they have and a
good deal more under all circumstances
as the syndicate comprises three
millionaries, who have an unlimited
amount of nearer There is another
syndicate in Galveston at present.
comprising a portion of the wheat
clique, which is running little deal
in cotton beside which the wheat deal
is but a grain of mustard seed. This
syndicate also took in some of its
profits yesterday, closing out 10000
bales of cotton at New Orleans at a
net profit about s., per bale. They
also bought heavily in New York and
are holding future contracts for
something like 100, 900 bales ofcotton
at Liverpool, New York and Orleans,
and own some 10000 bales of spot
cotton, all bought at cent per pound
below present prices. Their holding
represent 100000 bushels of wheat
at 85c. This cotton syndicate
embraces capitalist in New York, New
Orleans and Southern cities, but
Galveston furnishes most of the
money. This syndicate represents
$40, 100000 available cash, and
their profits thus far have been very
great.
